As with any sound manipulation, to what ever extreme its taken, the most important part is the source of that sound, and degree the manipulator decides to put himself in it. I would not call it music. At least not in this case. Nice programs though.

“I didn’t actually record your voice, I just plotted it.”
That means you recorded it you pretentious moron.

Well, if she was moving wierd it’s only because I was ‘with’ her the night before.

he just ment that he didn’t record it in the traditional fation, rather than recording the voice, he recorded the data
peterbriers / November 18, 2009 12:18 pm
it’s kinda the same actually. When you record something digitally, it always will “plot” the data.

LOL
It seems he’s not really sure about anything?
Everything he says goes up at the end?
Like it’s a question?
Even when it’s a statement?
Anyway, he’s not really doing anything that sounds any different to what has been done before?
Seems he’s using a “new” method of making sounds that anyone could have made on a regular computer & readily available software10+ years ago?
That’s my opinion?
Sorry, I get really annoyed by the question inflection?

How come when you speed something up, the pitch also rises– why can’t we speed something up without increasing the pitch?
demonology1 / November 18, 2009 5:12 pm
you can do that, if youre good with software
csmceo / November 18, 2009 6:21 pm
Well I hope you took care of whatever it is that you gave her while you were “with” her.
wildboy92004 / November 18, 2009 7:27 pm
No, ppl didn’t get the joke. She’s moving weird cuz I wore her out.

@ LuckyViolinist
When you speed something up, you compress sound waves so you can play them in a shorter period of time. This means you decrease the length of the wave, but when you do that, you also increase the frequency (as they are inversely proportional). And when the frequency goes up, you have a higher pitch.
And you can in fact change the speed without changing the pitch. Try open-source Audacity for example. But there is lots of other software.
godshiva / November 18, 2009 8:27 pm
You can – you can change the pitch or the tempo in just about any software package. But if you try to modify it too much, it won’t sound right. But 25% of either without the other is fine generally.
himerius2007 / November 18, 2009 11:56 pm
this was pretty unimpressive.
dzikiewicz / November 19, 2009 12:59 am
we can do that, there are programs that change the tempo of things, kind of like changing the speed, but it wont raise the pitch

hahahaha

I just want to say you are right.
